Free (DRM-free multi formats) Chase Of A Lifetime [Closeted Gay Cowboy Romance]

[ATDrake]

Chase Of A Lifetime by Ryan Field is the 1st in his m/m contemporary cowboy romance Chase Series, free courtesy of author Field himself and All Romance eBooks as their Xmas Countdown giveaway selection for the 16th.

This has 4 flames on the ARE heat index, and the blurb indicates a goodly amount of relationship angst to go with all the eventual sexyfuntimes. No particular warnings in the product tags, which seem to emphasize that there is indeed a love story within.

Currently free without DRM in the format of your choice (for multiple formats, do multiple checkouts) @ All Romance eBooks until shortly before midnight Central US time on the 17th. If you missed the previous day's f/m contemporary BDSM workplace erotic romance selection, you may still be able to get it if you hurry: Working Out

If it turns out you like his writing, author Field offers the second book in this series for just 99 cents; interestingly enough, there are two editions: a 1-flame abridged version which "does not contain any strong sex scenes" for people who mainly enjoyed the relationship drama, and a 4-flame version with "all the original erotic scenes" for those who liked both: Chase Of A Dream

He also has a large number of m/m erotic romance pop culture pastiches (think of them of the gay porno parody version of many popular movies; we got one for free from ARE as a Valentine's Day offer earlier this year and it was a decent enough Breakfast at Tiffany's spoof, although I laughed so hard at the notion that exotic and faraway Vancouver, of all places, was a place where the would-be sugar daddy character in the story would have to hide his gay relationship from his family or their public reputation would suffer; ahahahaha... no, where do people get such bizarre ideas about Canada?!) published by Ravenous Romance, several of which are currently discounted by more than 50% when bought directly from the publisher with a Buy 4 Get the 5th Free offer, or for a slightly lesser but still significant discount when bought from ARE, where the titles are eligible for their regular Buy 10 Get 1 Free deal.

Description
n this 60,000 word full length gay erotic romance, Jim Darling graduates from Princeton and goes back home to Texas, where he dreads everything ahead of him. He’s almost twenty-one years old, still in the closet, and has never been with a man. Though his father wants him to go to law school so he can join him in his law firm, Jim isn’t so sure that’s what he wants to do.

On Jim’s first night home, during his college graduation party at his mom and dad’s ranch, he runs into his best friend’s dad, Len Mayfield, a rugged, handsome investment banker in his late thirties who rides horses and wears a cowboy hat when he’s not working. Len’s life isn’t much different from Jim’s. He’s been in the closet forever, he’s trapped in a marriage of convenience, and he’s resigned to his circumstances.

That is until Len runs into the grown up version of Jim Darling at the graduation party and things start to get a little messy. What happens after that blossoms into something neither of them ever expected. A long seduction leads to fantastic love-making. There’s enough passion, heartache, and frustration to challenge their fragile relationship in more ways than one.

Will Jim Darling find a way to come clean with his mom and dad so he can find the happiness he’s always wanted? And will Len Mayfield find the courage to finally come out of the closet and walk away from a life that has never made him happy?
